    I was looking at those for the front and rear, As they're cheaper for the discs and pads than most places selling just the discs.
    Was warned off cross drilled though as they can crack.

    Hi i have fitted these from this buyer, and have had no problems been on the car for over a year, as with all grooved and drilled disks they feel pretty wooden till you get a bit of heat in to them, but i found a big improvement from standard. And they look great behind my wheels.

    I got the fronts and the rears and all the pads(mintex), and the seller (mtec100) gave me a big discount on the postage.

    The 280mm look better with smaller wheels as they fill better



    Had mine on for a couple of years now, they're due for a change as they are worn right down. One thing I will say is get some good pads. First ones I had were mintex, and they were ok, but faded when really pushed. Ones I have on now are genuine Volvo, and they are worse than the mintex ones (but they were cheap as money was tight). So I'd recommend getting some EBC ones, which is my next move when I get some mular together.

    worst case scenario, if they crack under high stress could it lock the wheel up?

    Mine appear to be fine, and I'm not a slow driver, they've had a lot of abuse, and some really heavy braking (and my car is heavier).
